This post is dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. Never again.

Dachau Concentration Camp, located about 15 kilometres outside of Munich, was the first of the tens of thousands of horrifying concentration camps that the Nazis created during their reign. Being the first camp ever created, Dachau is often considered the prototype of Nazi concentration camps. An estimated number of nearly 200,000 prisoners passed through Dachau, and at least 30,000 of them died during their time there. People imprisoned in this inhumane camp included Jews, Roma, Sinti, homosexuals, communists, and many more people who were considered “unfit for society” by the Nazis. The camp was in use for 12 years, from 1933 to 1945, until it was liberated by US troops in April 1945. My family and I came to Dachau on a day trip from Munich, and visiting it was probably one of the most impacting experiences I’ve ever had. In honour of today being International Holocaust Remembrance Day, this post is a guide to the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site, which is what the former camp is now home to.

Often considered the heart of the city, Munich’s Marienplatz is one of the most historic spots in all of Germany. It is defined by the Altes Rauthaus (Old Town Hall) on its east side, and the Neuses Rathaus (New Town Hall) on its north side. Having been the city’s main square since the 1100s, it is now one of the top (if not the top) attractions in Munich, the capital of Bavaria. This post is a guide to Marienplatz, including info on everything you need to know about the famous square.
